Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Not sure: Flea bites may be clustered into 3 itchy bumps that bleed & blanch (turn white) when you press on them. They tend to be found at skin folds (breast or groin) & folds of joints (ankle, knee, elbow, axilla) as well as legs. A rash & swelling can occur as well as secondary infection from scratching.

Dr Minich and another doctor agreed
